Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dementia and disability simulation (DDS) program on dementia knowledge, attitude, empathy, and activity design skills for seniors among college nursing students.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dementia Other: DDS program Other: dementia course with no DDS Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This two-group randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dementia and disability simulation program on dementia knowledge, attitude, empathy, and activity design skills for seniors among college nursing students.

The interventional group will receive a 6-week dementia and disability simulation program of activity design for seniors.

The control group will receive 6 weeks of regular dementia course and group discussion of activity design for seniors with no dementia and disability simulation.

Both groups will be assessed for their dementia knowledge, attitude, empathy and activity design skills for seniors at baseline, week 12, and week 18.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 12, week 18 ]
    score of knowledge about dementia (0~50) higher scores indicate more knowledge about dementia

  2. Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire (ADQ) [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 12, week 18 ]
    score of attitude toward people with dementia (19~95) higher scores indicate more positive attitude towards dementia

  3. Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 12, week 18 ]
    score of empathy (20~140) higher scores indicate more empathy for people with dementia

  4. Rubrics of activity design skills for seniors [ Time Frame: Baseline, week 12, week 18 ]
    score of activity design skills for seniors (0~45) higher scores indicate better skills of designing activities for seniors
